virtual drives

anyone know how to set up the cd drives under dos, finally setup pandora with sound under dos but it only sees my true cd drives. I know you can copy the disks to the panora working directory but I prefer to use virtual drive. Tried searching but cannot find any on dos drivers.

I know a few of you are using game drive /virtual drive so I thought I would try here first
Yeah, the only limitation with copying the .ap files is that, when examining an item in your inventory, some of the voice-overs are missing and/or some of the little animations are blank/still. But I personally don't know a way to set virtual drives in DOS.

Are you referring to actual DOS or DOSbox? In actual DOS, you could create RAM drives (basically, virtual hard drives using memory). However, you couldn't make a RAM drive big enough to fit an entire CD. The max size of a DOS RAM drive is 32 megabytes.

If you are referring to DOSbox, you can use Daemon Tools (freeware) in Windows to mount an iso (or nrg) image as a virtual CD drive (You can actually mount multiple iso's and have them each show up as an individual drive). Then in DOSbox use the mount command to mount the "CD drive(s)" in the same fashion as you would a real CD drive.

Once that is done, configure Pandora to look in the DOSbox mounted drives for each one of the discs.

No I was referring to full dos, I have the drives setup in windows but I cannot get dos to see them. tried the mount command like you you use in dos box but it doesn't work. I use farstone virtual drive but I cannot find anything on drivers
